No greater joy has ever been known in the history of creation. Child of God when we receive Jesus Christ as our personal Savior, we continue our race, and we must complete the race. He who runs a race, must never discourage to stop before the end, but to put more effort to go as fast as he could, so those who have heaven in their view must continue to press forward to it, putting in their best performance in holy desires and hopes. It is the value we placed on our avowed decision to follow the Lord that determines how far we shall go in our Christian race.
Any believer who considered his decision to follow Christ, the way of salvation, as not significant doesn’t place value for his heavenly race and therefore is prone to derail. There is no getting to heaven as our home, but by Christ as our Way. The way of those who mind things of the world may seem pleasant, but death and hell are at the end of it. If we choose their way, we shall share their end.
